Clearing HD and start new with Lion
I have been looking for a simple solution to my problem, but I can't seem to find one.
My dad just gave me is iMac (3.06 GHZ Core 2 Duo, 8GB Ram) with Lion (10.7.2) but it has a large amount of useless software to me and do not like the setup of his system compared to my MacBook Pro. I know that I can just have my MacBook Pro copy over but I would like to start clean as if I just purchased the computer.
So my question is, how do I clean the HD and start all over again so it was like I just purchased the computer?
Cheers,
Kerry
Well, if you don't care about the applications or other files on that computer, you can simply start over. However, FWIW, copying the system over from your MBP most likely will not work: Macs cannot boot from an older system than what they came with and, depending on how you aquired your copy of Lion, you may or may not be able to use that. To clarify:
If your dad bought the Lion license on MAS, he only purchased it for himself - it is not transferable. He is legally required to uninstall Lion and reinstall the original OS. If he forgot to do that, you can do that by using the original OS install disk - boot from it (by holding down C while restarting), choose erase disk from the Utilities, and reinstall the OS. Once updated to 10.6.8, you can go to MAS and get your own license of Lion. If you do not have the original install disk, call Apple and they will send out replacement disks for a nominal charge.
Now, if you bought your Lion license from the MBP from MAS, you can simply download it again on your MBP and then copy/install it on the iMac. If your MBP came with Lion installed, it cannot be used on another computer, so you will have to purchase it for the iMac.

will turbotax transfer from my broken hp laptop to a new mac or do I need to buy turbotax for mac and start over with my pc 2011 turbotax file
You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?
First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
i have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?
Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3 -
How do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?
how do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?
It's the Resume feature of Lion:
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner. -
ISE v1.2 - Endpoint abandoned EAP session and started new
Hi.
I have lots of clients that are not able to log on to both wired and wireless networks, and they always fails with these errors.
5411 Supplicant stopped responding to ISE
5440 Endpoint abandoned EAP session and started new
This is with certificate authentication, both for client and for machine.
The clients are for the most part Windows 7.
We use both Cisco and Aerohive for wireless, and the switch I have tested with is a Cisco2960S
A few strange things:
It works perfectly for a lot of clients too, with the excact same configuration.
One PC I'm testing with works fine when authenticating via wireless, but when I plug it into the switch, I get these errors.
I seems to be a timeout of some kind, either to short or too long, but where?
In the Win7 supplicant?
In the switch?
In the Cisco WLC
or in the Aerohive AP?
I have spent hours and hours on this problem, but I can't make it go away, it is very exhausting.
There surely must have been others with the same problem?
Thank you.Thank for trying to help out, but this is.. insanely vague.
How can i verify that NAS (the C2960S) is properly configured?
What timers are we talking about here? There are many to choose from..
The problem is still here, even with the latest patch 7 for ISE 1.2. It works fine on wireless, but not with wired, from the same computer. So it is logic to assume it has something to do with the switch.
This is the configuration from the switch:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/20
switchport mode access
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
snmp trap mac-notification change added

5440 Endpoint abandoned EAP session and started new
We have an ISE deployment for testing.
This is running v1.2.0.899.
We have an auth policy configured for domain-joined computers for 802.1x and domain credentials:
Condition: Wired_802.1X
Allow Protocols: PEAP_CHAPv2
Use: AD
This works, and authenticates both the machine (pre-login) and user (post-login).
However, I am seeing some errors int the Auth logs before the 5200 Authentication succeeded message.
These messages are not shown in the Cisco ISE Log Messages spreadsheet!
5441 Endpoint started new EAP session while the packet of previous EAP session is being processed. Dropping new session.
5405 RADIUS Request dropped
5440 Endpoint abandoned EAP session and started newI am seeing this error when a windows supplicant is booting up, we want them to use EAP-TLS. Before the GPOs has struck, they try to authenticate using EAP-PEAP on their own, which they aren't configured to do. Shortly after that, they send the EAP-TLS packets. After the supplicant has been authenticated, the 5440 error shows up but without affecting the authentication.
My guess is that this is the result of Windows behaviour. This generates a couple of "failed" authentications that in our case just confuse the costumer. I know this isn't an answer on your question, just my experience with the problem. -
I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -

Can't rename my computer and start new TM backup
Three techs at Apple have not been able to help me.
I have been backing up a PowerBook G4 and MacBook to a TC wirelessly, and now the MacBook BU stopped working but the PB continues OK. The sparsebundles are different sizes; PB 115 GB, MB 151 GB. After many gyrations with my MB sparsebundle, all unsuccessful, the tech suggested I start fresh with new computer name for my MB (the old name was firstname lastname's computer). So my new computer name is firstnameMacBook. After preparing to do a backup for more than an hour I get the error message "The backup disk image could not be mounted". Same error message I had when my MB BU stopped working. So a name change had no effect. Should I change the name of the existing old sparesbundle? Should I delete it? How? What?
What to do?
BruceSorry. I should have been clearer. I was just wondering if it was ok to do so.
I had taken my partners computer. Re-installed Leopard, then when I went to do the time machine backup it just started using the original sparse bundle that was technically my partners. I wasn't sure how to get it to start another and wanted to check first if it was ok the rename a sparse bundle?
For interest sake. I did rename the original bundle and this forced the Macbook to start a new sparse bundle.
I wanted to keep the original sparse bundle that was my partners in case we had any trouble with my partners new computer set up and migration.
Hope that all makes sense now.

I have the Samsung ML-2010 and the Samsung ML-1210. Currently, both work with 10.6.8. Will both continue to work with Lion, especially ML-2010? I need it for school and don't want to have to buy a new printer. Neither Apple nor Samsung make it clear enough whether ML-2010 is still compatible with Lion. According to the Driver website, Samsung hasn't released a new driver for Mac since 2009 and for Windows since 2010.
I actually have a Dell 1110 monochrome laser printer which, apparently, is the same printer as the Samsung ML 2010. After much digging, I was able to find and install the Samsung ML 2010 driver from Samsung's Australian website. It is a 2.00 version; however, the drivers installed and functioned properly, whereas the same 2.00 driver versions from Samsung's USA site did not. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.1. Here is the link to the ML 2010 driver on Samsung's Australian site...

Hope it works for you guys...I love my trusty mono laser printer and was very happy to find the correct drivers and get it installed. I was not looking forward to a new printer purchase on top of the new iMAC!! -
Macbook pro, bought on april and it came with lion
so i bouth me my 1st and new macbook pro, but it came with lion 10.7, i bought it yesterday, i know that the free upgrade program ended on march 30, but do you know if there is any chance i can get the upgrade? since the macbook came with lion and it is new, also is a 15 inch mid 2012 macbook pro
thx!The original Mid 2012 model came with Lion that is until Mt Lion came out then the newly manufactured unit then came shipped with Mt Lion. What you bought was a leftover "Early Released" Mid 2012 unit. Nothing wrong with it, unless there is something wrong with it. It just has Lion Pre-Installed. You can contact Apple to see if you can get Mt Lion for free under the update/upgrade program.

Video graphics card after wiping dv6000 clean and starting over with windows 7
i recently had a virus on my hp pavilion dv6000 notebook and it ate pretty much everything. the person who worked on my computer just started it over new with windows 7. this notebook was originally windows vista. i have tried to install the sims 3 which i have just bought brand new and it keeps saying that the video graphics card is not supported. i went to the update i found on hp.com but there isn't a choice in the systems options for windows 7 on this notebook model. what do i do now?
seems like sims 3 does not support your hardware w/c is your graphics card. updating drivers wont do much
but still if you want to update your graphics driver try going to hp.com and place in the search box your laptops product number and the hit enter, look for software and driver downloads link and you will see therer all the applicable updates for your hardware.. -
